| Why does most new music suck? I have to admit, the percentages aren't necessarily high but--if you look hard enough you will find some young artists you like. There are certainly more artists with their work available now than at any other time.I'm knocked out by the Wood Brot... | |
| wht is the difference between good and bad sound ? The closer the sound coming out is to the same sound in its natural, pre-recorded state, the better it is.That's why they called it high fidelity. | |
| Jean-Luc Ponty Have never heard that one--how is the material/style compared to Aurora or Imaginary Voyage?I was fortunate to see him with Zappa, then with Mahavishnu Orch II, and finally his own band. The boy can play! | |
| If you wanted to impress someone, which track? Lots of tracks by Los Lobos, Lyle Lovett and His Large Band or late Beatles would suffice. | |
| How to remove harshness from my digital gear Mapman, do you mean your mkII's face "out" rather than the usual midfield "in" setup? If so, by about how much (how many degrees angle)? | |
| Most musical CD / album ? need recommendation But he's more advanced because Chet was there to provide a starting point. Could Tommy exist if there had not been Chet?I mean, his extraordinary talent would find its way somehow but he really needed that Chet A. CGP springboard to get going IMO. | |

| Most musical CD / album ? need recommendation Any fan of Chet should check out Tommy Emmanuel (though you would probably already know of him).

| Any rock fans out there? Rock, definitely, but not much metal. I like a lot of what I hear, but I don't generally buy. My listening levels are different at 60 than they were in my 20's when I was trying to match the volume of my Orange half-stack (my stereo amp then was a... | |

| Greatest Composers of All Time If Beethoven was 16 he as not yet started (he lived another 50+ years) and Mozart was 32 and almost finished. Mozart was at the very front end of public concerts and publishing. These were far better established by the time Beethoven came of age (... | |
| Classical, Spanish & South American Guitar Jewels Manuel Barrueco: Albeniz/Granados LP on Vox, now available as part of very affordable 3-CD set.
